I wan na feel (Fm)love run through my (Eb6/9)blood. Tell me, is (Dbmaj7)this where I give it all (Cm7)up? For (Bbm7)you, I have to risk it (Cm7)all, ’cause the writ ing’s on the (Fm)wall. A mil lion shards of glass that haunt me from my past. As the (Dbmaj7)stars be gin storm to gath er, and the (Csus)light na be it gins to fade, when all (Dbmaj7)hope be gins to shat ter, know that (Csus)I thing will be a fraid.
